Hi, I am trying to connect to the internet using an USB modem. Tried with a Vodafone and Docomo SIMs, both which work in a mobile phone. After authentication, it fails giving *PCP: timeout sending Config-Requests*
Any pointers? The details are below... WVDial output- --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","portalnmms" AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","portalnmms" OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT*99# --> Waiting for carrier.
